I think I have it fixed now, but just to be sure, in my /etc/hosts I have:

192.168.1.101   old.HOME        old

which was duplicating the default 'localhost.localdomain localhost' that
is there.  I understand that the final localhost is an alias (that is
the term used in Network Manager) for localhost.localdomain, and every
indication I have (mostly my bash prompt) says localhost=old.
I was attempting to say that my computer was named old and my network
(domain?) was HOME, but apparently I am incorrect here.

BTW the fix (i hope) was that anacron is apparently not installed by
default in F7T2!

Thanks for any help!
